Equipment Description
OM/SM-TDB/7(CE)
The Groen TDB/7 is a table top, tilting, steam
jacketed kettle with a thermostatically controlled,
self-contained, electrically-heated steam supply and
appropriate controls, mounted on a sturdy base. The
Model TDB/7 is available in 20 or 40 - quart capacity.
The body of the TDB/7 Kettle is constructed of
stainless steel, welded into one solid piece. The
kettle is furnished with a reinforced rim and a
butterfly shaped pouring lip. It has a steam jacket
rated for pressures up to 50 PSIG. Kettle finish is
180 emery grit on the inside and bright semi-deluxe
on the outside. A tilt handle allows the operator to
manually tilt the kettle body in a controlled manner. A
crank tilt model is also available. Pouring height
accepts pans up to 4 inches high on a table top.
A built-in steam generator, sized for the kettle
capacity and heated by electricity, delivers steam
into the jacket. “Airless” operation of the steam
jacket permits uniform, efficient heating at
temperatures as low as 150°F and as high as 295°F.
In addition to the adjustable thermostat for operating
control, the unit has a tilt cut-off switch, low water
cut-off, safety valve, and high-limit pressure switch
as safety features. A heating indicator light,
pressure gauge, and sight glass are provided for
monitoring kettle operation.
A single electrical connection is required for
installation. The unit may be ordered for use with 230
Volt single phase or 400 Volt three phase power.

Inspection & Unpacking
OM/SM-TDB/7(CE)
The unit will arrive in a heavy shipping carton and will
be attached to a skid. Immediately upon receipt,
inspect the carton carefully for exterior damage.
CAUTION
SHIPPING STRAPS ARE UNDER TENSION
AND CAN SNAP BACK WHEN CUT. TAKE
CARE TO AVOID PERSONAL INJURY OR
DAMAGE TO THE UNIT BY STAPLES LEFT
IN THE WALLS OF THE CARTON.
Carefully cut the polyester straps around the carton
and detach the sides of the box from the skid. Pull
the carton up off the unit.
Thoroughly inspect the unit for concealed damage.
Report any shipping damage or incorrect shipments
to the delivery agent.
Write down the model number, serial number, and
installation date, and retain this information
for future reference. Space for these entries is
provided at the top of the Service Log at the back of
this manual. Keep this manual on file and available
for operators to use.
CAUTION
THIS UNIT WEIGHS 140 TO 163 LB. (64 TO
74 KG). INSTALLER SHOULD OBTAIN
HELP AS NEEDED TO LIFT THIS WEIGHT
SAFELY.
When installation is to begin, carefully cut the straps
which hold the unit on the skid. Lift the unit straight
up off the skid. Examine packing materials to be
sure loose parts are not discarded with the materials.
Attach the tilt handle (normally shipped inside the
kettle) by carefully threading it into the socket on the
trunnion support. Be careful to avoid cross-threading
fine socket threads. This step is unnecessary if the
kettle is a crank tilt model.
The TDB/7 is shipped from the factory strapped on a
pallet. If the unit is a pull tilt model, the handle is packed
inside the kettle for shipment.
